This workshop explores community-engaged research methods across a range of disciplines in the social and natural sciences, the humanities and health sciences. Dr. Stuart Poyntz, Director of the Community Engaged Research Initiative at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada will introduce the field of community engaged research (CER) along with a selection of CER methods including arts-based research creation, social audits, citizen science, participatory mapping and evaluation and oral history. We will also examine key challenges in developing CER projects, including issues of timeliness, rigour, relationality and knowledge outputs.

We invite all the students and researchers interested in deepening your understanding of community-engaged research methods.

Join us for a thought-provoking seminar that will explore the practical applications and challenges of this approach.

Registration is open until Monday, November 11.

Workshop organised within the CULTURS International Conference “Towards creative resilience? Re-imagining urban cultures, sociabilities and participation”.
